BBQ catering in Godstow, served hot
In Godstow, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy.

On the menu are beef brisket, beef burgers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for big birthday parties and fundraising barbecues.
Near Godstow, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Godstow questions
Is Godstow close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Godstow?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Is the meat halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
